On a lovely afternoon, the U9 cricket team made the journey to Chichester to play Oakwood School. For many this was their first competitive game of cricket. The boys batted well and scored well with some pleasing boundaries for some. We will continue to work on the overarm bowling technique, which is a very difficult skill to master. All of the boys enjoyed the afternoon and a good match tea was enjoyed by all.
